Tileset help

[cameronp]

Could someone help me with tile sets?  I have gimp although I am not familiar with it.  I want to import some tile sets into rmxp.  But I am unsure how to resize images since most of the tile sets I downloaded are like 17x100.
Once again any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The width of a tileset in XP is fixed.  However, it can be as long as you like.  You'll need to cut-and-paste to get the width down to 8 tiles, or 256 pixels.  (Tiles are, of course, 32 pixels square.)

Thanks for your response.  I am sorry I am very new to this and would like a detailed explanation  I have found resources and click save image as but in my tile set folder the images only show as 17x100 I tried to use grid and snap to grid in gimp but he image stays the same I made the canopy 256x800 and the image still stays at 17x100 on the grid.  I am confused and could use some help on how to download and resize the small images.

I have found some that are already sized and imported fine.  Just need help with these small ones.
Thanks much.

I use paint.net... does the gimp have a resize command?

You can also use Photofiltre, which has a resize command and it's 1.5 mb.
